Some years ago I bought a Bronco that had been painted by the Tech Center shop. It was a pretty good job..and thick...they sure didn't spare the paint. ;-)

I would think that would be a good way to go, let the company pay for the wrap and you get to drive a advertisment for SOMDOnline...

Good idea, although you can get straight wraps in normal colors these days too if she doesnt want to use the personal hooptie to pimp the business.

It would go well with her already existing custom tags for the business.
So every kid in the class got to shoot 3 coats at 3 mils thick?
Almost looked that way...LOL. But it showed good.

I know someone who did this to a truck they paid $500 for, it actually looked pretty decent, they sold it two years later for $1500.
That's hilarious! 
Yay, I'm excited! I had my car at Toyota for routine maintenance and a complete physical. Mechanic says it's good to go and I should get an easy 50,000-75,000 miles more on it.
So that releases me from having to make decisions, although I was kind of into this hot green 2018 Jeep Wrangler I saw at the Jeep place. Now I need to figure out some cosmetic fixes...

They are some tough vehicles, that's for sure. I'm loving the crazy-cold AC blasting out of the vents in my ancient '91 Toyota pickup the last few weeks. Can't kill these.
I'm working on addressing the scritchies and what have you that make me look like Fred Sanford. It's not horrible, but it's bad enough that I don't like it.

Maybe all it needs it a good compounding and buffing.
The nearest Earl Scheib is in Newport News.

Where are we on this? a buddy bought a 2 tone ex cop car and they primered the roof.. I remember a while back a buddy telling me some cab companies would paint a car for $300.
oh i also know a guy who roller painted a pickup.. it didn't look too bad. I actually bought the truck from him and sold it it for more money later also.

I sanded down the bad spots and filled them in with touch up paint. From two feet away it looks great, up close not so much. I hate to spend thousand$ on a paint job for a car that's 12 years old and I'm still considering getting rid of. The car as is is worth about $2000 and painting it isn't going to increase that.
For anyone who cares, you can get touch up pens that match your original paint. On the inside of your door you'll see the paint number, or google the name of your color (mine is Toyota Barcelona Red) with Y/M/M and you'll find it. If that particular paint isn't at the auto parts store, you'll find it on Amazon.
